Planning

Cundall offers a planning service that is comprehensive, well-informed and good value for money. We advise and guide you through the planning system, working as part of a team and managing the process. We carry out public consultations and prepare specialist reports - including supporting planning/economic statements, sustainability reports, heritage statements, site waste management plans, sequential tests and impact assessments - to justify schemes and secure planning consent.

We provide an integrated service which can bring together many of the key services that are required to input into the planning stages. This includes: integrated pre-application discussions that can cover planning, environmental impact assessments and transportation inputs.

We can also provide many of the specialist reports that are required for planning, and manage these on the client’s behalf, with the added benefit of having just one point of contact and a co-ordinated approach.

Environmental impact assessments

Cundall's planning experts will explain the planning processes to you, keep you up to date with the latest legislative changes and advise you of the best way to realise your development ambitions. We also act as intermediaries, dealing with the local authorities on your behalf and negotiate with them, if difficulties arise.

The wide range of associated specialisms that we offer our clients can bring numerous benefits to the planning process; for instance, our clients see significant time and money saved by dealing with just one company. Whether you are a private individual, a small business or an international developer, we will work with you and achieve your vision.

We can also provide assistance directly to local planning authorities, including the preparation of local development frameworks, provision of development briefs, masterplanning, development control and assistance in appeal situations.

We can provide a full environmental impact assessment service, which can help to steer your project from the earliest screening opinion stage, through the preparation of scoping reports to managing and preparing full environmental statements to support your project. Not only can we provide that crucial co-ordination and authorship role, but we also have access to a full range of specialist survey providers to complete the team, which we can manage on your behalf.
